Levy's hunches were correct. The next day when Gazille walked in to the guild everyone reacted at his new headband. Lucy was not far away and directly started to tease Levy about the present and wondered how it went the day before. Because Levy was Levy she told Lucy everything about how she had found Gazille on the floor and how she was taking care of him until Lily had come home.
"but Levyyy-chan, what would have happened if Lily hadn't come home eh?" Levy felt how her face warm up when she thought back to the previously night and the unconscious "bar chested" Gazille.
"NOTHING would have happened LU-Chan!"
"of course not Levy, of course not," Lucy said while giggling.
But Levy knew that something maybe would have happened, at least in her part. She didn't know, but seeing him lying on the floor, shaking made her panic. Of course it made her panic! But it was something more, like, she could not put her finger on it but. She knew the feeling was something more than a "friend" being hurt feeling; it was more like a love one. Stop brain! It's not like that! But she could not explain all the feelings she had when he was gone and now when he was back. All these thoughts made her insane! But Lucy saw her friend zooning out and tried to wake her up,
"Levy-chan!?"
On the other side of the guild a curtain dragon slayer was staring at the still out zooning bluenett.
"You can't stop staring at her can you?" Lily said while drinking his ridiculous big beer,
"I'M NOT STARING!"
But he knew he was, he didn't know why he was staring at her thought. He just thought about her worried face when he woke up last night. Like she was really worried about him, and then the present!? Why in the world would SHE give him a present? A welcome home present, ridiculous, he thought. But he wore it anyway; at first because he didn't want to hurt her feelings, but then he felt a certain happiness wearing it. Like a worm feeling was taken from the headband down to his hart, he felt his ears heat up.
"And why are you zooning out?"
Gazille's where taken back to reality when he heard Titania speak to him?
"I was just thinking about something.."
"Ivan?" Just when she had said it she realized her mistake, when she saw Gazille freeze. Fear showing in his eyes and he started zooning out again. But this time it was not a pleasant ride. Ivan's laugh, the pain, the doctor, the scalpel, the tubs, the liquid, the feeling of no hope. Then he heard a voice in his head. He twitched, it was like it was talking directly at him this time.
"Gazille-chan, it's time…" He felt the pain again and just like that the voice was replaced by;

"GAZILLE, GAZILLE!"
"What!?"
"you were zooming out again, I didn't mean to upset you, Erza said with worries and guilt showing in her face."
"it was nothing," but Gazille knew it was something. Was he going insane or something?
"I know! I know! Levy!"
"what Lu-Chan?"
"I know how you can get closer to Gazille!" she felt a blush coming.
"But I don't want to get closer to him? I don't mean I don't want to meet him, or I don't mean that I, I mean gaah! What do you mean?"
"well I heard it is going to be a festival in a near town not far from her this weekend. Maybe you and Gazille should go? I know he needs some fun."
"But I can't just ask him to go just like that? It will sound like a date or something." She felt her face once again turn red when she mention the word date.
"But if I and Natsu come to?"
"well I guess I would we fine if you two come.."
"then its settled! We will go to the festival! All you have to do is ask Gazille!"
"WHAT!?"
"You know he is sitting right there, just go and ask him if he wants to have some fun?" But Levy didn't feel so sure when she looked at Gazille. He looked like he was not in a mood for fun, with his face in his hands and Lily stroking his back. Well she could give him that present? Even if it did not go as she had planned, why would this be harder? Well, all or nothing she thought.
"Um Gazille?"
He heard a small very weak voice. At first he thought it was Lily but when he took his face out of his hands he saw crimp standing right in front of him. He was so taken by surprise that he almost fell of his chair!
"Um sorry I interrupt you but, but."
"spit it out bookworm!"
"I just wondered if you maybe, if you don't have anything better to do this this weekend you maybe would want to, um."
"want what!? "He spit out irritated by the pain in his forehead. She started to think this was a bad idea, but when she looked at Lu-Chan she took the courage to finally say:
"would you want to go to a festival with me this weekend!?"
Gazille just sat and stared at her. His jaw almost dropping to the floor but he was able to catch it before she noticed. What did she just say? Did she just ask him out?
"Lucy and Natsu are going to!" She spit out as quickly as she saw his reaction.
"He would be happy to join," Lily answered for him.
"Grate then I will fill you in with the details later," and then she was of in full sprint against Lucy.
"what did just happened?" Gazille asked Lily with a still confusing look.
"you are going on a double date with Levy, Lucy and Natsu this weekend," Lily answered with a happy smirk.
"WHAT!?"
